Illinois  State  Horticultural  Society. 


The  ILLINOIS  FIRST  GREAT  APPLE  SHOW  and  63rd 
Annual  Convention  of  the  Illinois  State  Horticultural  Society 
will  be  held  at  the  Sherman  Hotel  in  Chicago,  Nov. '19,  20,  21, 
22,  1918.  For  63  years  this  Society,  composed  of  volunteer  mem¬ 
bers,  has  stood  in  the  front  rank  of  Horticultural  organizations 
in  the  United  States  for  the  advancement  in  all  Horticultural 
lines.  Five  conventions  are  held  annually  in  the  State,  one  by 
the  Northern  Illinois  Horticultural  Society  in  the  Northern  dis¬ 
trict,  one  by  the  Central  Illinois  Horticultural  Society  in  the 
Central  district,  one  by  the  Southern  Illinois  Horticultural  So¬ 
ciety  in  the  Southern  district,  a  summer  meeting  by  the  State 
Society  and  the  Annual  winter  Convention. 

The  ILLINOIS  FIRST  GREAT  APPLE  SHOW  is  a  de¬ 
parture  toward  educating  the  general  public  in  the  Apple  indus¬ 
try  of  Illinois,  together  with  the  use  of  apples  in  the  conservation 
program  of  the  Government,  and  the  necessity  of  apples  as  food 
in  healthful  living.  Illinois  is  noted  primarily  as  an  agricul¬ 
tural  state  and  the  fact  that  this  state  grows  on  an  average  of 
millions  of  barrels  annually  of  high  quality  apples,  equal  in 
flavor  and  quality  to  the  best  produced  in  the  United  States  and 
of  the  highest  type  in  appearance,  is  not  so  generally  known. 
There  is  probably  no  section  of  the  United  States  where  orchard¬ 
ing  is  conducted  with  greater  skill  and  with  more  remuneration 
than  in  Illinois.  Southern  and  Southwestern  Illinois  comprise 
the  great  apple  producing  section  and  yet  the  very  highest  type 
of  apples,  in  quality  and  appearance,  can  be  produced  in  prac¬ 
tically  every  county  in  the  State. 

Membership  in  the  Society. 

The  Illinois  State  Horticultural  Society  has  about  500  mem¬ 
bers  from  every  section  of  the  State.  The  Society  has  received 
a  small  annual  appropriation  from  the  State  Legislature  to  assist

in  carrying  on  its  work.  Each  year  the  Report  of  the  conven¬ 
tions  is  published  in  a  substantial  cloth  bound  Volume  of  about 
500  pages,  giving  a  complete  account  of  the  papers,  addresses 
and  discussions  at  the  conventions.  In  connection  with  the 
ILLINOIS  FIRST  GREAT  APPLE  SHOW  this  will  be  the 
52nd  consecutive  annual  report  published.  These  reports  are 
a  mine  of  information  and  experience  freely  given  by  the  ad¬ 
vanced  Horticulturists  in  their  various  lines  of  work  that  edu¬ 
cationally  are  invaluable  to  the  horticultural  interests  of  the 
State,  both  scientific  and  practical.  Modern  methods  of  orchard 
practice  in  Illinois  has  been  developed  and  built  up  thru  exper¬ 
ience  gained  and  recorded  at  the  various  conventions. 

Cost  of  Membership. 

Life  membership  in  the  State  Horticultural  Society  costs 
$5.00,  which  entitles  the  members  to  a  copy  of  the  reports  and  all

tary  or  the  treasurer  of  the  Society  and  a  receipt  and  certificate 
of  membership  will  be  issued.  Any  one  in  Illinois  interested  in 
any  branch  of  Horticulture  cannot  afford  to  be  without  a  mem¬ 
bership  in  the  Illinois  State  Horticultural  Society.

scene  of  representative,  business  and  social  gatherings. 

The  present  Hotel  Sherman  is  the  fifth  of  the  name  to  oc¬ 
cupy  the  well-known  site.  It  is  new — a  three  million  dollar 
master-piece  of  hotel  construction,  built  on  a  scale  of  excellence 
absolutely  abreast  of  the  best  that  the  world  affords. 

General  Arrangements  and  service  include  details  of  com¬

Secretary’s  Notice. 


To  the  Members  of  the  Illinois  State  Horticultural  Society 
and  Fruit  Growers  of  Illinois : — 

The  Secretary  wishes  to  call  your  special  attention  to  the 
splendid  line  of  advertising  which  this  Premium  List  carries  and 
remind  you  that  the  people  who  are  advertising  in  this  Premium 
List  and  the  growers  who  have  listed  their  names  are  the  people 
who  have  made  it  possible  to  hold  the  ILLINOIS  FIRST 
GREAT  APPLE  SHOW. 

The  funds  available  to  the  Horticultural  Society  were  not 
sufficient  to  put  on  the  ILLINOIS  FIRST  GREAT  APPLE 
SHOW  and  it  was  necessary  to  secure  advertising  for  the  Pre¬ 
mium  List  and  Directory  and  sell  space  for  special  exhibits  of 
machinery,  orchard  accessories,  etc.,  at  the  Show,  to  raise  suffi¬ 
cient  funds  to  make  the  Apple  Show  a  representative  Show  of 
the  apple  industry  of  Illinois.  This  has  been  accomplished  and 
thru  the  loyal  support  of  these  advertisers. 

These  advertisers  have  contributed  their  part  to  the  success 
of  the  Show  and  it  is  the  duty  of  every  Horticulturist  in  Illinois 
to  show  his  appreciation  by  supporting  them  in  every  possible 
way  and  your  Secretary  hopes  and  believes  that  you  will  favor 
them  in  your  business.

WHAT  THE  LARGEST  APPLE  GROWER  IN  ILLINOIS  SAYS. 

WARD  PUMP  CO.,  Rockford,  Illinois.  Savoy,  Illinois,  May  13,  1918. 

Gentlemen:-— 

We  have  been  giving  the  spray  guns  a  test,  and  we  are  greatly  pleased  with  the  results.  I  regret 
that  we  have  not  more  of  them.  The  dezice  of  opening  the  valve,  I  refer  to  the  hand  lever,  is  the  best 
I  have  seen  so  far.  The  difficulty  with  a  great  many  guns  is  not  that  they  will  not  do  the  work  but  with 
the  man  behind  the  gun  making  a  fire  engine  out  of  it  instead  of  a  spray  machine.  With  your  lever  for 
adjusting  the  spray  it  is  not  easy  for  the  operator  to  do  the  wrong  thing.  It  is  easier  to  do  the  right 
thing  than  the  wrong.  If  he  opens  it  up  too  much  the  regular  pressure  will  tire  him  out.  I  congratulate 
you  on  what  seems  to  me  a  very  successful  and  easy  to  operate  spray  gun,  one  that  is  fool  proof. 

Yours  very  truly,  H.  M.  DUNLAP.

How  to  Make  More 
on  Apples 


If  you  have  heretofore  been  very 
carefully  packing  your  apples  for 
the  highest  market  price,  try  once 
the  Bushel  Shipping  Basket — 

The  Universal  Package 

When  you  return  from  market  you 
will  probably  have  the  highest 
market  price  in  addition  to  this 
when  you  figure  how  much  you 
have  saved  on  packages  and  packing 
you  will  find  that  your  net  profit  is 
greatly  increased.

REVISED 

ECONOMY  CODE 


FROM  observation  of  orchards  set  out  by  the  earliest  in¬ 
habitants  in  this  state,  we  are  convinced  that  with  prop¬ 
er  cultivation  and  spraying,  apples  unsurpassed  in  quan¬ 
tity  and  unexcelled  in  quality  can  be  produced  on  thousands  of 
acres  of  Illinois  soil  that  now  are  comparatively  unproductive. 


Yours  for  better  apples,  Illinois, 

Apples  with  a  flavor,  Illinois, 

Apples  red  and  yellow, 

Apples  ripe  and  mellow, 

Apples  that  are  luscious,  Illinois. 

Apples  that  will  please,  Illinois, 

Apples  we  may  ship  across  the  seas,  Illinois, 
Apples  that  will  bring  us  treasure, 

In  the  very  fullest  measure, 

Apples  for  our  health,  Illinois. 


We  believe  that  the  grower  of  tempting,  luscious  apples  is 
as  necessary  to  the  health  of  the  people  of  this  country  as  the 
physician.
